    Q&A 3: Is there a way to retry to only the failed destination when using multiple destinations?

    Q: I’m using LimagitoX File Mover and find that if a rule has multiple destinations and only one of the destinations fails it retries all of the destinations. Is there a way to retry to only the failed destination? Or another way to work around this?

    A: Yes, please open ‘Function Setup’ and enable the ‘Destination Memory’ option.

    Q&A 2: Is it possible to rename a file that has a date in the filename to also include the day of the week?

    Q: Is it possible in LimagitoX File Mover to rename a file that has a date in the filename to also include the day of the week?
    Here is an example of what I would like to rename.
    Original Filename: XYZ001D_04_21_20_ABCD.pdf
    (04_21_20 = April 21, 2020)
    Rename To:  Tues_XYZ001D_04_21_20_ABCD.pdf

    A: Yes this is possible using Pascal Script. Some screenshots to get you started.
    Add The Following ‘On Destination’ Pascal Script:

    // Original Filename: XYZ001D_04_21_20_ABCD.pdf
    // (04_21_20 = April 21, 2020)
    // Rename To:  Tues_XYZ001D_04_21_20_ABCD.pdf
    Var
      tmpDate: TDateTime;
      tmpDateStr: String;
      tmpPos: Integer;
      tmpLen: Integer;
      tmpDay: Integer;
    Const
      ctDateLen = 8;  
    Begin
      psExitCode := 0;
      // ... add your code here
      tmpPos := pos('_', psFileName);
      tmpLen := Length(psFileName);
      // Check
      If (tmpPos = 0) And (tmpLen = tmpPos + ctDateLen) Then
      Begin
        Try
          tmpDateStr := Copy(psFileName, tmpPos+1, ctDateLen);
          psLogWrite(1, '', 'Date stripped as String: ' + tmpDateStr);
          tmpDate := psStrToDate(tmpDateStr, 'mm_dd_yy', '_');      
          tmpDay := DayOfTheWeek(tmpDate);
          psLogWrite(1, '', 'Day Of The Week: ' + IntToStr(tmpDay));
          Case tmpDay Of
          1: psVSA := 'Mond_'; // Monday
          2: psVSA := 'Tues_'; // Tuesday
          3: psVSA := 'Wedn_'; // Wednesday
          4: psVSA := 'Thur_'; // Thursday
          5: psVSA := 'Frid_'; // Friday
          6: psVSA := 'Satu_'; // Saturday
          7: psVSA := 'Sund_'; // Sunday
          End;
          // Set ExitCode
          psExitCode := 1;
        Except
          psLogWrite(1, '', 'Exception Error when searching for Date in filename: ' + psFilePath + psFileName);     
        End;
      End
      Else
        psLogWrite(1, '', 'Not a valid filename: ' + psFilePath + psFileName);  
    End.

    In your Destination Setup select the ‘Rename’ Tab. Enable ‘Rename Files during Copy/Move and click the button next to this option.

    File Rename Setup:
    RegEx:                (.*)
    Replacement:    %VSA\1

    The goal of this renaming is to add the %VSA var in front of the filename. The %VSA var was previously set in the Pascal Script.
    The \1 corresponds with the RegEx (.*) which is in this case the complete filename.

    Q&A 1: explain the difference between orange, blue and grey button

    Q: I have many rules in the mover and have a pretty good handle on what it is they are doing.  However, there are rules that I have copied so that I can make changes without affecting the originals.  The rules are now displayed with grey buttons on them.  Please explain the difference between an orange, a blue and a grey button for each rule.  Beyond that I would like to know the significance of the double arrow vs. single arrow on the same buttons.
